THANK YOU - VAWA and Green Card Approved

Frieda Goldstein is an amazing lawyer! She is knowledgeable, professional and very empathetic. Frieda and her office got my VAWA petition and green card approved without any RFEs. They reviewed and filed my VAWA petition that consisted of 300+ pages in less than a month, and the petition was approve...d in 14 months. Frieda also prepared me for the green card interview and stayed in touch with me throughout the whole process which took 2+ years. What differentiates Frieda and her team from other lawyers, is that Frieda and Tina (paralegal) were always available to answer any questions I had. They replied to my emails the same day, sometimes even on Sundays! Thank you so much Frieda and Tina for helping me to start a new chapter in my life. I will always refer my friends who need assistance with immigration matters to you. THANK YOU!!!

Excellent Attorney with knowledge and expertise in her field!

I had an immigration matter and decided to do an extensive online research on immigration lawyers in New York City. This exercise led me to Frieda Goldstein. (Yes, the reviews are spot on!) Frieda Goldstein is an expert in her field. She is very professional, easy to talk to and provided exception...al advice and responses throughout the process. Also, I was impressed with the quality, speed and efficiency of how my case was handled and give special kudos to her support team. I had an excellent experience and outcome - all in all, I have no hesitation in recommending Frieda Goldstein, Pozo Goldstein, LLP.

Results guaranteed!

I honestly thought my life was over before I met Frieda Goldstein. I was frustrated and angry with the system. This deportation case took me through hell and back but she remained positive and professional throughout my rants. She's diligent, kindhearted, knowledgeable, and an overall beautiful hum...an being. She worked really hard to get my case dismissed. I am proud to say last week I became a United States Citizen. If I didn't seek her help I wouldn't be this happy today. I would 100% recommend Mrs. Frieda Goldstein. I will forever be thankful for all she has done for me. :-)

Great results

Frieda is great at what she does, she has all the answers. She's easy to contact (some lawyers don't respond) and keep in touch. She's quick at responding as well at my questions. She gave me good tips on studying for the civic exam. I worked with her on my application for naturalization through marr...iage to a US citizen. My case went pretty smoothly, no real big issues! We filed end of Feb and I got my citizenship end of July (but this is only because I postponed my ceremony for a month), otherwise, it would have been end of June, total of 4 months. My only tip is do bring everything they request for you to bring for the interview, I didn't have my "utility bill" with me and ended up having to run around in the city for 2 hours to gather a list of items and run back to the interviewer to submit same day (I was lucky my interviewer was nice enough to accept same day), otherwise, my case would have been delayed. Just some tips!

We are so grateful to Frieda and her team at Pozo- Goldstein. No words can express our gratitude.
